"Welcome to my Nightmare" is supposed to be one of Cooper's scarier songs, but it sounds perfectly acceptable as a soft rock piece. The music video for it is more sexually suggestive than scary, as is Alice's intent.

Black Sabbath has been about moping more than about sex, and their scary material ranges from the trip to hell simulation song "Black Sabbath" to the apparently satanic "NIB II" and with a largely forgotten 1990 album Headless Cross. They don't rival death and black metal bands like Venom for scariness but are just commercial enough to have been on many radio stations.
